Assisting to a jazz concert (the Jack DeJohnette Group, with an opening by Iordache and his band), I understood is less visually appealing compared with, for example, a metal concert (my fave), both as lighting, costumes, accessories, stage play (also, my placement, as a mere spectator in the crowd was limiting), so I decided to channel my attention to interactions on the stage.

Yesterday a new university year started for students across the country. ASE, standing for the University of Economic Studies is one of the big traditional universities in Bucharest, famous for the large percentage of female students. It is also knows for an urban legend: one of its buildings has a ball shaped roof and the legend say it will fall-off when a virgin (implied, female virgin) will pass by it.
Note: myself, I graduated long ago at UPB, the engineering university, where is no ball problem (if you know what I mean…)

Besides SkirtBike, another event at BikeFest was the “two on a bike” race, here teams of two people riding the same bike went head to head in a competition.

Last week-end the Izvor park in Bucharest hosted the BikeFest festival, which had as one of its events the fourth edition of SkirtBike (autumn edition), where women are invited to take part with a bicycle while wearing a skirt (preferably vintage) and maybe high heels.

Believe or not, as this historical monument plate says, it used to be a “Low Priced Dwellings Society”. I expect the name to pretty much be a publicity stunt, but that makes it no less funny.

Is autumn, the season for grapes to get ripe. The wides use for the grapes is wine making, but before the fermentation they become must, a wonderful drink full of sweetness and flavor. Best served with grilled pastrami.

Hunting for my latest batch of photos for the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest, I encountered this building, which is not a historical monument, but still an interesting sight. Ans you can probably see is a former shop, which had a “FOTO LUX” sign, if not obvious, that is Romanian for “Luxury Photography”. Think of the past glory of this place…

If a few month back I caught an Caragiale act near the opening the the all-summer long Caragiale Festival, now near its end I caught another, the same company, Masca, but a different play, “O scrisoare pierdută”.

Somehow, I am not very sure the seller is very focused on his colored balloons, something else may have caught his attention. Not good for the business.

I like fireworks and it was a while (at least a couple of years) since I saw a good one (being busy whit other things when they happened), so when I learned there will be fireworks in the last night of B-FIT, I couldn’t miss the opportunity.

“19 Reasons” by Aromatic Company was one of the spectacles happening in the street at the Bucharest International Theatre Festival, B-FIT. I saw their show twice: one time in the Colțea Square and another time on the Lipscani Street, the pictures are from the second one, where my station point was better.

Sunday afternoon, the store is closed, nothing happens, even its trusted guardian is taking a nap (somehow, I suspect that’s all he is doing all day long).

The Old City of Bucharest can be very animated by night, especially if is close to the week-end and more so if a festival takes place there (now it was the International Theatre Festival, B-FIT)
We love the old city, right?
